Lakers get Dwight Howard in a four-team deal

I thought I should put this here since the NBA section is kind of dead.

ESPN.com reported that a trade call has been set for Friday morning to finalize the blockbuster that would feature Los Angeles getting the defensive superstar, Philadelphia getting Andrew Bynum from the Lakers and Jason Richardson from the Magic, Denver getting Andre Igoudala from the 76ers, and Orlando getting Arron Afflalo and Al Harrington from the Nuggets, Nikola Vucevic and Maurice Harkless from the 76ers and one first-round pick from each of the three other participants.

Damn. I really didn't see this one coming. Where do you guys rank the Lakers now? Philly got a lot better as well.

I think Leandro Barbosa would be a good fit for their bench out of the remaining FA's. Good outside shooter, has played with Nash in Phoenix, good in uptempo style game. LA is going to the Princeton style offense this year & I think Barbosa will add a dimension off the bench that will complement them well.
